the gift of faith

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Español)

RESUMEN: In First Corinthians, Chapter 12, Paul mentions nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, including the gift of faith. This gift is not just for the beginning of the Christian church, but for the entire time the church is on earth. God wants a church that moves forward, with musical gifts, prophetic gifts, and gifts of knowledge and miracles. The gift of faith can be given to anyone at any time, and can be combined with other gifts. Faith is essential in the life of a believer, and can be seen in examples such as the Syro-Phoenician woman and the woman with the issue of blood. The faith of the friends of the paralytic is another example of strong faith. God wants to use us as instruments of his glory, and we should be careful not to rob him of that opportunity by lacking faith.

The sermon discusses the power of faith and how it can stop divine processes. The speaker emphasizes the importance of exercising faith, even when it may seem difficult or ineffective at first. The sermon cites examples from the Bible, such as the story of Elijah and the widow of Sarepta, to illustrate how God can bless those who have faith, even in difficult circumstances. The speaker encourages listeners to believe in God's promises and to persist in their faith, even when they do not see immediate results.


The speaker encourages listeners to have faith in God, even in times of struggle or hardship. He cites examples from the Bible of individuals who had faith and saw miracles happen in their lives. He also acknowledges that sometimes there are obstacles or oppressions in the spiritual realm that need to be overcome before blessings can be received. He urges listeners to persist in prayer and to live in expectation of God's guidance and blessings in their lives.


The speaker encourages the audience to live a life of faith and to dare to believe God for great things. He uses examples from the Bible, such as the widow of Sarepta and the king of Israel, to illustrate the importance of obedience and boldness in faith. He leads the audience in prayer and declares a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit on the people of God. He breaks chains and tears down principalities and powers in the name of Jesus, declaring an invasion of the power of God. The audience is encouraged to receive the anointing and to step out in faith to do great things for God.


First Corinthians, Chapter 12. Last Sunday you will remember that as a very blessed passing consequence of the presence of our brother Adlan Cruz with us, we had to preach a sermon that was more appropriate to the moment. We talk about the gifts but with respect to Second Timothy, Chapter 1 where Paul advises Timothy to fan into fire the gift of God that is in him. And we talked about the gifts that have to be exercised, developed in order to enter into their full manifestation.

And the Sunday before that we talked about two of the gifts that Paul mentions. There are 9 gifts that First Corinthians mentions, but they are not all the gifts that God distributes to his people.
